So I’ve been using the same 720p HP monitor since 2009. I recently finally took the time to build my first pc. I’m trying to decide if I should stick with a 60Hz monitor or go for somewhere in the range of 100-144. I dabble in all sorts of gaming and I’m not sure how my pc will hold up to 144Hz. The monitor I’m currently looking at is the Asus VG279Q. I would ideally like IPS. Probably stick with 1080p. Running a EVGA GTX 980ti SC, i5 8400, and 12 gigs of ram(swapped from previous pc, will be throwing 16 gigs in when I buy the monitor)
Will I be able to keep up or should I just opt to stay with a 60Hz? If I do go for the 144Hz Asus, can I efficiently lock Hz lower while gaming say, an RPG, and use it at 144 for competitive gaming?
